Biographie de l'auteur :
Linda Carroll was born in 1944 in San Francisco and adopted into an Italian Catholic family. Very early, she discovered poetry as a form of prayer and a window into an expanded life. In 1961, when Linda graduated from high school, San Francisco was already buzzing with counterculture music, arts, and style, and Linda found herself selling beads and going to peace marches. After finishing her bachelors' degree in Oregon in the seventies, she moved to New Zealand, where she raised children, sheep, and many dogs. She returned to Oregon in the eighties and received masters in counseling, and began practicing as a therapist. She specializes in couples, womens retreats and is a frequent presenter at the spectacular Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico. She also works as a private consultant to couples and families throughout the USA. As an adult, Linda found her birth mother, the novelist Paula Fox, and began to understand her deep-seated love of poetry anew. In 2006, her memoir, Her Mother's Daughter, was published by Doubleday. In 2008, Remember Who You Are was published by Conari Press in San Francisco and he latest book, Love Cycles will be published by New World LIbrary in 2014. She has five children, ten grandchildren, and lives in Corvallis, Oregon, with her husband, a Jack Russell terrior, and continues her lifelong path of grand adventures and spiritual seeking.

Présentation de l'éditeur :
Each of us is born with a connection to a divine essence. When we look at women's lives across cultures and life-stages, we can see that spiritual essence. Yet, in our everyday lives, we often lose connection. For each of us, rediscovering our shared and particular essence is our true life's work. Remember Who You Are is a book to help us do just that. In Remember Who You Are, Linda Carroll shares her own discoveries and wisdom gleaned from other women's lives and art, especially poetry, to guide us on a seven-stage journey of recollection, reconnection, and recovery. The stages, Forgetting, Remembering, Exploring, Practicing, Shadows on the Path, Reclaiming, all lead to Accepting, a condition woven throughout the stages. It is the knowledge that we never completely arrive. We are always on the path. We are always forgetting, exploring, practicing, struggling, becoming, and remembering who we are.
